Biodegradable Ionic Liquids – Task Specific Solvents

Dublin City University (DCU) researchers have developed a range of ionic liquid solvents which have enhanced biodegradability and reduced toxicity relative to currently commercially available ionic liquids. Ionic liquids offer a “greener” alternative to traditional organic solvents and their properties can be tailored to suit specific chemical synthesis applications or the manufacture of single enantiomer drugs for the pharmaceutical industry.

EMμ Electroactive Monolithic Stationary Phases – The Next Generation of Separation Science

Dublin City University (DCU) researchers have developed technology to enable reproducible fabrication and control monolithic stationary phases for use in analytical separation. The monolithic stationary phase is fabricated from an electroactive polymer (e.g. polyaniline) for use in either capillary HPLC column or Lab-On-Chip (LOC) format.
